There are about 25560 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Germany. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joints continue to pose significant management challenges. Thus the aim of our study is to compare two dynamic finger joint distractors (Litos® and Ligamentotaxor®) in respect to the radiological standard follow-up examination and functional assessments.
In this multicenter, randomized, non-blinded trial the efficacy and safety of stereotactical photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid will be investigated in 106 patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
Patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) suffer from an inherited disorder leading to systemic vascular malformations. Mutations in several genes of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily pathway influence angiogenesis in patients with HHT. The genetic loss of ALK1 or ENG alone are not sufficient to induce AVMs; environmental insults that could trigger angiogenesis (e.g. wounding) are also needed. In this study it will be analyzed if hypoxic induced factors could have an influence on the disease HHT.
The primary goal of the clinical trial is to determine that the GLOBAL ICON implant system from DePuy does not exhibit worse shoulder function after 2 years than the SIMPLICITY from Wright Medical. The primary endpoint is the Constant-Murley Shoulder Score (CMSS) of the implant after 2 years, the non-inferiority of which is to be demonstrated in comparison with an already established prosthetic system (SIMPLICITY, Wright Medical).
The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and implications of pulmonary hypertension in lung cancer patients. To do so, data will be collected from all lung cancer patients at the university hospital Giessen. All data will be analyzed for possible hints of pulmonary hypertension as a comorbidity in lung cancer patients. All information will be generated from the regular guidelines based course of treatment and there will be no interventions. This study will serve as a prospective register for all lung cancer patients treated at the university hospital Giessen.
To the best of our knowledge, BELUGA will be the first prospective trial investigating the usefulness of deep learning-based hematologic diagnostic algorithms. Taking advantage of an unprecedented collection of diagnostic samples consisting of flow cytometry datapoints and digitalized blood-smears, categorization of yet undiagnosed patient samples will prospectively be compared to current state-of-the-art diagnosis at the Munich Leukemia Laboratory (hereafter MLL). In total, a collection of 25,000 digitalized blood smears and 25,000 flow cytometry datapoints will be prospectively used to train an AI-based deep neuronal network for correct categorization. Subsequently, the superiority will be challenged for the primary endpoints: sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis, most probable diagnosis, and time to diagnose. The secondary endpoints will compare the consequences regarding further diagnostic work-up and, thus, clinical decision making between routine diagnosis and AI guided diagnostics. BELUGA will set the stage for the introduction of AI-based hematologic diagnostics in a real-world setting.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of fremanezumab as compared to placebo for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine (CM). Secondary objectives are to further demonstrate the efficacy of Fremanezumab as compared to placebo for the preventive treatment of CM, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Fremanezumab in the preventive treatment of CM and to evaluate the immunogenicity of Fremanezumab and the impact of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) on clinical outcomes in participants exposed to Fremanezumab The total duration of the study is planned to be 75 months.
The aim of this study is to provide darolutamide treatment to patients who participated in a previous study with darolutamide supported by Bayer and the treating doctor considers that the continuation of the treatment with darolutamide to be beneficial. Patients will be carried over from the previous studies and continue in this study with darolutamide treatment on the same dosage. They will also return to the study centers for doctor's visits as often as they did in the previous study.
This is a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, Phase 2 umbrella study of retifanlimab in participants who have advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer that has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. retifanlimab will be administered as monotherapy or in combination with other immunotherapy or targeted agents.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the performance of Medacta Anatomic Ribbon Surgery (M-ARS) in patients requiring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The main goal is to evaluate the survival rate of M-ARS ACL at 6 months post-operatively. The secondary goals are to assess the survival rate, clinical and functional outcomes, the quality of life, and the rate of complications at 1 month, 1 year and 2 years post-operatively.
